Allergy test

So I'm still suffering from nausea at 24 weeks. It's coming and going all the time throughout the day so I'm wondering if it's something I'm eating that is causing it? Has anyone tried an allergy test during pregnancy and found they have new intolerances? My acupuncturist does the allergy test by taking a strand of hair and gives a huge list of foods etc and if there is any intolerance and if so if it is a small intolerance or a big one. I'm thinking it might be worth a try

I’m sure how scientific that would test sounds. People I know with intolerances have found that they are better able to tolerate things durring pregnancy.

Hair strand allergy tests aren’t evidence based and nausea on its own isn’t usually a sign of a food allergy. Some women are unlucky and have nausea, vomiting, or full-blown HG throughout their pregnancies and I’m afraid that the most likely explanation is that you are one of them.

I have two nephews who have had the allergy tests done with her and she was able to tell what the hospital couldn't. Took them off the foods on the list and they were better within days.
I was trying to figure out myself what was causing the nausea to come and go, I stopped eating dairy two days ago and no nausea yesterday or today so fingers crossed I've figured it out.
